A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard Yarra Chardonnay 2022
$55.00Almost invariably the most sought after wine of the release, no doubt due to the fame of this vineyard. A real statement of Yarra cool, waving the flag for contemporary Australian Chardonnay, pioneered in the Yarra Valley. Almost Puligny like in it’s initial aromatic reticence and floral notes. But with a bit of warmth, comes […]

Lambert Wines Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A delight to just smell, let alone drink, the stony Denton soils shine through scents of ripe citrus fruits and white flowers. Texturally too, it is simply gorgeous, with compact, chalky weight aligned to lithe acidity, a whisper of grip and pent-up energy. Poised, driven and sustained, it’s Yarra Valley Chardonnay at the peak of […]

Assuredly the most complex aromatics I have ever encountered on a Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett. Cherry, grapefruit, fennel, pawpaw, mushroom compost, smoke, green snake (the lolly), yellow peach and apricot. Detailed and layered, with interwoven salt, minerals and a phenolic grip that frames the gorgeous ripe and cool fruit. Tightened by silk threads that only time […]

Hofgut Falkenstein Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2020
$55.00Aromatic, kummel like herbs, kaffir lime, kiwifruit, green apple and damp leaves. Elegant and filigreed, a wine that is very light, and opens up enormously given some time in the glass. Scintillating, racing and bracing. Mineral, zesty and salty. For all it’s lightness, it’s so complex and detailed. The best “light” white wine you could […]

The faintest of pink colour, with beeswax, grapefruit, juniper, mint, tarragon, red delicious apple, lime zest and frangipani. Intense but not obtuse. Coiled, tense, vivid and cool flavours, including gooseberry, kiwifruit, savoury spice, tonic-like and pickled vine leaf. So bracing […]

Clemens Busch Marienburg Fahrlay Grosses Gewächs 2020
$160.0097 Points – “Smelling this is like looking into a deep abyss, and someone unfamiliar with intensely mineral dry riesling might feel a bit of vertigo. However, these grapefruit, white-tea and wild-herb aromas really excite us. On the sleek palate this is super-focused with a terrific tannin structure that beautifully matches the crystalline quality on […]

Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Grauen Schiefer 2019
$75.00Intense, with all the breadth, power and grandeur we have come to associate with Clemens Busch. Full bodied, with citrus, stone fruits, lemon zest, smoke, nettles a mineral puckering close. Full of dry extract, it’s hard to imagine anyone else getting so much “feel” to the palate, whilst maintaining an astonishing level of clarity. Giant […]

Peter Lauer Ayler Riesling Fass 25 2020
$55.00The most angular of Peter Lauer’s wines, but not lacking in intensity or interest. Notes of lemon, grapefruit, mandarin, spring jasmine, lavender wood, nettles and mint. Direct attack on the palate, very fine and tensile. Terrific poise and power, with a saline note and that spicy grip on the close. Elegant, refreshing style, nothing forced. […]

JJ Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese 2020
$90.00The 2020er Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spätlese is slightly reduced at first but quickly reveals a beautifully refined and floral nose of aniseed herbs, tangerine, mint, smoke, herbs, and almond cream. The wine is nicely playful and light-weighted on the palate, yet it proves nicely complex and long. This is a delightful Spätlese in the making, […]

Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Riesling Kabinett ‘Feinherb’ 2020
$60.00Intense and full of character with notes of white flowers, stone fruits, citrus, spice, cherry and blackcurrant. Intense and full of presence, but with a lightness of touch. The spice is more elevated on the palate (clove) and although off-dry, feels drier for all that. Scintillating and mineral as you so often find with Falkenstein, […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$35.00Such an excellent value wine and classic Yarra Valley. Needed some time to open up, perhaps I tried it too cold? High tones all the way, with lime, lemon, pink grapefruit, gardenia and mandarin blossom. Mouthwatering and very tense, there’s a dimension of extract that tensions the bright acidity and tangy fruit. Very focused and […]

Salo Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$50.00From the early 2000s-planted Full Moon vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Natural fermentation on full solids, and no lees stirring or mlf. At Salo, Dave Mackintosh and Steve Flamsteed only make one Yarra wine, and the 2022 is another ripper. From a low-yielding vintage, this is slightly more powerful than the 2021 and here you’ll […]

Patrick Sullivan Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Out of Stock
One of the greatest upper Yarra vineyards, its coolness coupled with rich soil make for compelling chardonnays. Initially restrained, but with coaxing reveals gardenia, kiwifruit, marzipan, gin herbs, mandarin, brioche and zest of lemon and lime. Incredibly rich and full bodied.

Markus Molitor Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett Goldcap 2015
$50.00Out of Stock
Showing not a bit of age, accept perhaps some integration of the crystalline acidity, the very essence of Molitor. However, the cut is still fine and carries the luxurious, shapely profile of a Whitely nude. Spice, earth, smoke, threaded to bright citrus, white peach, nectarine, mint and herbs. There’s a tonic like quality; clear, translucent, […]

Markus Molitor Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese 2019
$55.00Out of Stock
Ripe and luscious, round in shape, with penetrating, focused acidity. Yellow and citrus fruit, cherry, mind and lavender tea. Softness personified. Initially reminding me of Prum, but there’s more energy and grip here. Herbal and mushroom notes, tonic and minerals. Detailed personality, certainly multifaceted and utterly absorbing. Destined for a very long life, but delicious […]

Peter Lauer Ayler Riesling Fass 6 Senior 2020
$55.00A richer feinherb than most of us would, with greater depth and texture than most of us would be used to. Medium to full bodied, rippling with juicy ripe fruits, saltbush, mint and lemon preserve. Just off-dry, the depth of the palate is offset by subtle sweetness and the Saar’s rapier acidity. Remarkable wine. Waters […]

Carl Loewen Riesling ‘1896’ 2021
$175.00This is beautiful to drink now, but those things which really make it stand out in the crowd are only just beginning to reveal themselves. With every swirl of the glass the ripe peach and apricot aromas expand until there’s a great cloud of them. Staggering concentration is packed into a rather sleek frame, but […]
